I always feel sympathy when a factory or assembly plant closes. That's a lot of folks in one area out of work. Not many communities can begin to provide enough job opportunities to make up the difference. Usually the case is that the rest of the local economy is crimped in a big way.

These situations almost always have a huge trickle-down effect.

The reason a diamond shines so brightly is because it has many facets which reflect light.

I will however be Buying 2 North American built cars in the next 2-3 years:
A Chrysler Sebring for my wife this year & a Dodge Dakota 4x4 for me next year or the year after (my Ford Ranger4x4 is getting a little long in the tooth)

Actually RDR I've seen companies, plants, and even military bases go through major new construction just before they shut down.
Several reasons for that, one being - if they spend a lot of money, they think they can force the corporation/government hand too keep them open. Another is the increased price that can be asked for the property if and when they sell it. And I would guess that there would be some considerable benefits at tax-time also to spending all that money.

Beware major new construction, sometimes it can be an indicator of a rattler in the woodpile:no:
